There's an undeniable sense of childishness to the fanservice, and sure, not every episode is a massive joy to watch, but there is rarely a moment that makes you wish you were watching something else instead. It dared to be different and it succeeded. If only more anime took from Space Dandy's example.

You may see this as a dramatic, colorful, senseless rip-off of CowBoy Bebop or other serious "space shows" but I think this is a series that could be a fun title to help a person curious about anime to slide into, much like Cowboy Bebop or FLCL during their initial runs on Adult Swim. Give it a chance for the humor and the colors.
